EPIPHYLLUM oxypetallum
Night Blooming Cereus

Featuring true green tongue-like leaves that undulate from upright (though eventually cascading) central stems, this unique plant truly glows while in bloom on warm, summer nights. Intensely fragrant, pure white flowers (dinner plate-sized!) open as soon as the sun goes down and stay open all night, then close in the morning. As for all members of the Orchid Cactus family, a period of dryness and cool nighttime temperatures in the winter (bring indoors and keep in an area with morning/afternoon exposure) ensures summer bloom. Prefers part sun location; let dry out between watering.
